Find slow-queries in MySQL

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:26:31 +0000

Often when a web-application seems slow it’s not (or not only) the parse time, but also or mayorly database speed. Most scripting-languages don’t act “intelligent” in parsing as it would be best for user experience, but go through the code line by line (whom would expect it otherwise?). So if you have a website containing some slow MySQL-Queries it seems as if all the page just takes a eternity to load. One step would be to put all the page loading into some seperate code-piece and load it later with ajax-technology. This gives a great boost in user-experienced speed, because the most parts of the website load and are already usable before the database content pops in. But otherwise often not the database is the problem, but bad written querys. But how to find them?

Useful PHP Ressources

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:10:48 +0000

With the time this page should grow to a collection of useful ressources for PHP.

Why should I use PHP?

it’s easy to learn and to use, imho easier than some other languages, like Java (don’t argue with me, almost everyone has his own opinion about this topic)
you have a fast experience of success, which motivates you to learn more
it’s easy to get the necessary preconditions
you can fastly develop webpages and web-applications

Where to get it?

The easiest way to start is to get some cheap webspace, supporting PHP, like for example http://net-housting.de for the german people around here. You just have to upload your scripts and access them over your browser.
